Trump for his lies and Biden for all the reasons discussed here today.

Overall Trump grade: F
You simply can’t lie in debates as often as Trump does if the activity is to be taken seriously.”

Overall Biden grade: F
Playing into stereotypes and criticisms, Biden had a worse night than Trump. But neither would get my vote based on this debate.
